What is the pressure in atmospheres on the body of a diver if he is 22 ft below the surface of the water when atmospheric pressure at the surface is 0.96 atm?Can someone help me figure this pressure question out?
Convert 22 feet of water to atmospheric pressure using the density of water which is 62.4 lb/ft^3.
22 ft x 62.4 lb/ft^3 x ft^2/144 in^2 x atm/14.7 psi = 0.6485 atm
Add the atm pressure.
0.6485 + 0.96 = 1.6085 atm
